Left the car in the heat? That's what you ruin in it! Approach the first really hot and sunny day to the car and, opening the door, you find there real hell. Sitting in a red-hot salon is unhealthy. But there is a way.
You can quickly cool your interior in several ways
- Open all the doors. Hot air will quickly leave the cabin.
- Start the engine, lower all windows, turn on the heater fan at full speed. Thus, we blow hot air ducts of the heater.
- Start driving with the windows down and airflow will ventilate the interior.
- Turn on the air conditioner (if any), but do not direct the air flow on the windshield, because it may crack from temperature changes. Air will have to be supplied to the deflectors on the instrument panel, but try not to direct the flow towards yourself and passengers in order to avoid a cold.
- But if there is no air conditioning, it is useful to use a windshield washer, and pour water longer. If you have clean water flooded, then the effect will be good. Cool both the windshield and the duct of the air intake where the water flows - from it the air is taken by the heater. Thus, the cabin will become a little cooler.

Alternative to tinting: how to protect the car from the sun If, however, it is so hot in the cabin that it is not even possible to start the car, we recommend the following. Open the rear right door. Then open several times intensively and close the driver's door (it is not necessary to slam it at the same time). Just a few strokes - and the hot air leaves the interior. You can at least breathe while you start the engine.
And now I’ll tell you about measures that should be taken in advance if there is a long parking lot in the heat
- While parking, rotate the steering wheel 180 degrees so that the lower part of the steering wheel remains in the sun. Grip locations will remain in the shadow of the front panel. Then at the beginning of the movement you will not burn your hands.
- Use a white cover or cape at least in the driver's seat.
- Check the operation and efficiency of the air conditioner, replace the cabin air filter and carry out antibacterial treatment of all air ducts of the device.
- Install the deflectors on the door windows - this will allow you to leave the car with slightly open windows, and the heat will leave the passenger compartment. And if a summer thunderstorm happens, the interior will not flood.
- Protect the instrument panel and the front of the cabin from the sun with a special folding curtain located under the windshield.
- Stock up on removable sunshades on the suction cups for the rear door windows.
- Set the alarm with auto start, so that you can pre-cool the cabin before the trip. Just do not direct the air flow on the windshield - it will crack!
- If your car is dark in color, you should stock up with a light colored cover for the entire car by the summer season.
